Rubicon

I’ve done it now. You can’t prevent,
the things I’ve done, I’ve said and meant.
No trail to track. There’s no way back
So all that’s left you now resent.

So scold me, tell me to repent
To change the past that came and went
Destroy my hopes of freedom’s notes
And all of heaven’s wonderment

Don’t preach at me when you’re to blame
Had this been you you’d do the same
Don’t judge to soon there is no room
For eyes that have a plank to wane

I’ve crossed the streams of no return
I’ve walked on roads you can’t discern
And lessons taught have come to naught
And still you never stop to learn

So in the darkness where you prowl
And at the speck in my eye scowl
Adjust your view and see anew
That all you trust in fact is foul

And where are you and all your laws
That subjugates with iron claws
Your broken vows from empty mouths
Were lost in all your futile wars

And I am gone, far out of sight
And bask in things that bring delight
Ambrosia leaves and olive wreathes
Away from all your war and plight
